    I rarely utilize these opportunities but I'll try to make the time/effort to try out Catan. Love the actual board game, but curious how it plays as a video game.
    There have been better video game implementations (The discontinued 360 game was streets ahead of this one) but it is still fun.
    I played a ton of that 360 version! It was given away free one time way back in the day and I downloaded it without any previous knowledge of what Catan is. I got hooked immediately and bought the board game version as well to make my family and friends play with me haha

    Stop calling it free play days.
    Yeah! We also need an Xbox, TV or monitor, internet connection and electricity. And time! Time is money!
    Don't forget food and water to keep us alive while we play these games as well as batteries for our controllers.
    A roof in case it rains or gets cold as well

    You pay for something. They add an additional benefit later on that you do not pay anything extra for. That extra content is free. You are not paying another $1 when they add the free play games. Your sub price does not go up, the games get added for free.

    You buy a game for $40. Patches are added to the game over the years. Updates are implemented. NG+ is added. You never paid a dime more than the original $40 for the game. Those patches, updates etc were free.
    The way they release most triple aaa games that is on the devs not the gamer since they release an unfinished product that needs a day 1 patch among other things...hello cyberpunk
    Free updates are also necessary updates in most cases with unobtainable achievements or game breaking bugs or longer than necessary grinds that halt the players enjoyment of their paid product
    if u have ez games on your gamercard dont b a hypocrite and stop others from enjoying the same games and try not 2 spend more than 4 dollars for them

    Why are you paying for gamepass? I've had GP ultimate since day 1, never spent a penny.

    I've played the mobile version of Catan and it was not fun, so I'm always cautious when I try to play another game in a different medium. Thanks for the feedback!
    I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism...SPACE!

    Yes, play TCM. I'm looking forward to dodging you when I see that your character isn't level 10. It'll be an ace experience.

    Why are you the way that you are? 😒
    Why my quote bother you ???
    Did i wake you up, from your dream and confronted you with the real world ???
    If you don´t raise your voice, and demand better you will never get a better product.
    We are all consumers, and i´m sick and tired of those companies, charging more and giving you less.
    Do you remember when they wanted, to raise the price of XBOX Live Gold and people raised their voice ???
    What happened ?? They went back to the old price.
    And the same should be done here.
    If they call it free play days, any subscription shouldn´t be necessary.
    Raise your voice people, otherwise those companies will charge 120$ for games, and 100$ for subscription srevices tomorrow.
    Playstation never menaged to established a mascot. Not Drake, Alay or Helghasts.

    Ahhh you did not get my quote. That makes me sad, but not surprised.

    Ironically they are not charging you more and giving you less
    Infact when you pay for the subscription AND they then give you free play days they are charging you the same but giving you more…

    Try to make sense next time please.

    ...for some off us those reward points are not that generous, so yeah there are still people who have to use actual money...in my case i can have a free game from time to time but certainly not enough to cover GPU subscription for whole year or more...

    ...let us consider the free play days as something EXTRA or just as being part off the subscription...

    Wasn't Breakpoint meant to be a downgrade over Wildlands. Wildlands was ace.

    Quote from the article:
    Xbox has now confirmed the The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is free to all Xbox users, so those without a Game Pass subscription can still check this one out.
    It's more than just a game, it's a passion.

    I refuse to play Breakpoint simply because it's another one of Ubisoft's online only games. Just like the Crew, which is shutting down permanently in a month. Locking singleplayer behind always online is total BS.
